Abstract
It's challenging to measure non-repetitive events in real time in the field of instrumentation and measurement. Dispersive Fourier transformation is an emerging method that permits capture of rare events, such as optical rogue waves and rare cancer cells in blood. This Review article covers the principle of dispersive Fourier transformation and its implementation in diverse applications.

Experimental Observations of Breathing Dissipative Soliton Explosions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a mode-locked fiber laser and a fast detection technique to study dissipative soliton explosions and found that the explosions occur far below the mode-locking threshold, and nonlinearity-mediated $Q$-switching stimulates this.

Phase-gradient gap-plasmon metasurface based blazed grating for real time dispersive imaging

TL;DR: In this paper, a gap-plasmon metasurface (GPM) based blazed grating is used in dispersive imaging applications to achieve higher power efficiency than conventional gratings.

Mutually ignited soliton explosions in a fiber laser

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that explosion of one soliton could be induced by another one through the soliton interactions mediated by the transient gain response of an erbium-doped fiber.

Anamorphic transformation and its application to time-bandwidth compression

TL;DR: A general method for compressing the modulation time-bandwidth product of analog signals is introduced, inspired by operation of Fovea centralis in the human eye and by anamorphic transformation in visual arts, to alleviate the storage and transmission bottlenecks associated with "big data".

Saturable plasmonic metasurfaces for laser mode locking.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that plasmonic metasurfaces behave as saturable absorbers with modulation performances superior to the modulation performance of other 2D materials and exhibit unusual polarimetric nonlinear transfer functions.

Two-Photon Laser Scanning Fluorescence Microscopy

TL;DR: The fluorescence emission increased quadratically with the excitation intensity so that fluorescence and photo-bleaching were confined to the vicinity of the focal plane as expected for cooperative two-photon excitation.
